- Summary:
- This classic adventure story captivated readers when it was first published in 1885, and helped inaugurate a wave of 'lost world' romances inspired by the exploits of British explorers in colonial Africa. This new edition looks at Haggard's own African experiences, his unlikely literary success, and his ambivalent attitude to native tribes and the ravages of the British Empire.
